A HEADLINE!
Robotic Darwinism

• What is the trigger that starts the machine? Stored Chemical Energy

a lever starts the machine

• How many different forms of energy are used to operate the machine? Provide statistics.
  • Potential Energy - pulling the lever (arm)
  • Light Energy - light bulb
  • Machanical Energy - robotics
  • Kinetic Enery - water
  • Wind Energy - pin wheel
  • Chemical Energy - Steam / Smoke

Mechanical unless otherwise stated

1:27 think i saw some heat energy to heat a balloon

• What is the most important form of energy used by the machine?

mechanical energy as most of the reactions are from balls hitting something and thus continuing momentum
